Hello fellow “everyday, ordinary, unassuming guru seekers.” T’is Monday. What’s that mean to you. Is it exciting or is it just another Monday? Make Monday a perfect beginning to a perfect week; then prove it. The prize at the end of the week is overwhelmingly worth the effort you put in to proving it. I promise!

Let’s look at what Karen is asking about – interesting!

Mr White

How can I feel like I make a difference to the evolution of humanity? That is the question my philosophy teacher is posing to us. I’m in my last year at UCLA. Any ideas? I won’t plagiarize what you say. I just need someone to stir the pot a little more for me.

Thank you if you answer me, Karen D.

Hello Karen

Your personal contribution to the advancement of humanity depends upon your “right use” of your power to affirm something valuable and new about you, and then to transform that affirmation into a felt vision.

Did you get that? Let’s say that again. We’ll slow down this time so we can absorb it.

Your personal contribution … to the advancement of humanity … depends upon your “right use” … of your power to affirm something valuable and new about you … and then to transform that affirmation into a felt vision.

There is no denying it, Karen, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Of course when this statement was made a zillion years ago, “man” was referring to men and women. What you affirm yourself to be – when it feels so darn real that it is unquestionable to thee – that is what you become. There is no getting around it. You begin visualizing yourself that way until it feels as though it is ALREADY SO, and then BINGO! And not long thereafter – you are that. When those affirmations are uplifting, humanity evolves a little higher. This works with everyone, Karen, not just a select few.

Blessings to you, Rob

Hey folks

What do you think in your heart about yourself?
Are you happy with your thoughts?
Should you upgrade your thoughts?

Do you take the time to affirm
that today you are more
than you were the day before?

Sometimes we feel a pull within us that can cause us confusion. Thank you Norman, for sharing (see below)

Mr white

I feel as though my family is trying to make me conform to specific rules and regulations that kicks the stuffing out of my creativity. Am I being too cynical or too pessimistic? I have a full scholarship to a prominent school of music because of my piano playing skills, but everyone is insisting I become a doctor, like dad, and my two uncles. I don’t want to disappoint them, but I don’t want to go into medicine. I tell them that, but they just get angry with me.

Just wondering what you’d say to me if I ran into you, and you became an unassuming guru for me.

Thank you, Norman

Hi Norman

Have you heard the story of the wild horse who lived joyfully and played freely in the hills and in the valley. And then, along came a man who captured the horse and took him back to his ranch to train him. With carrot and stick he trained the horse to become a dancer and prancer. Then he took the horse on tour, from city to city, and made him perform.

This beautiful wild stallion became a mechanical dancing horse – tired, depressed and sickly. Soon the horse died, and the man returned to his ranch, wondering what went wrong.

I don’t know, Norman. You tell me. Is that what is happening to you, or not? Any human being who is stripped of his playful spontaneity will eventually become sick and die on the inside. Take care of yourself, Norman.

Blessings, Rob

Hey folks

A lot of people think they have a lot of problems. They don’t They have one problem. They have given up their freedom to be themselves to get approval from others. When you are being yourself, almost all your other problems dissolve in the process of spontaneous living, itself. Somehow, answers just seem to come.

Blessings & Love, Rob

PSLack of genuine spontaneity is lack of aliveness. Have none of that lack! be yourself!!

Have you ever wondered why you do so many things that you know aren’t good for you? Yet you do them again and again! Being a human being can be quite mystifying, can’t it? That’s why we all love a good “everyday ordinary guru” to pass our way and give us a tip or two to help set us straight.

Jon brings up a question about asking good questions that might help us live right. (see below)

Hi Mr. White

I had the good fortune of being in the company of a real guru from India. He’s quite famous, but I will not mention his name here. I had the opportunity to ask him a question, and my mind went blank. What do you think might have been a good general question to ask?

Thank you, Jon L.

Hi Jon

When you are in the company of someone who truly has answers, a great opening question is this: “Can you tell me what I need to know so I will feel free to be successful and grow?” That one question will have your guru explain to you that there are three things you need to pay attention to.

When you feel fearful about trying something new, you give power to the fear; power that it does not possess. Just knowing this creates space for you to begin your new adventure with action that is higher than your usual nervous reactions.

As you progress down your new path, pay attention to what happens to you with a watchful eye. Be objectively observant. This empowers you to respond without feeling threatened. Without the feeling of threat you drop your mechanical way of dealing with things. This creates space for innovation.

Stop dancing the same dance you’ve always danced. There is so much more to you. Dare to be spontaneous. Give yourself a small task every day that builds your courage to step out of the box, one baby step at a time.

I hope this helps you, Jon. Blessings, Rob

Hey folks

Is there a message in the above conversation that applies to you? Your constructive energy is absolutely pure. Use it constructively and you will get results that please you. Convert that pure energy into nervousness energy, and you will continue to live a life of fear.

Blessings and Love to all of you, Rob

PSEvery human being must rescue himself or herself from that which stops them from succeeding. Very few human beings believe that fact.

How’s the guru seeking going? Until you’re willing to change, nothing can change. You know that, right? And until you’re willing to change, no new “everyday, ordinary, unassuming guru” can come to you to offer an insight or needed golden truth that could change your life. Nora is looking for answers about tension. We all know about that challenge, don’t we?

——

Hi Rob

Can I ask you to be my every day guru and explain tension to me? Anything you have to say would be great.

Thank you, Nora

Hi Nora

WOW, that’s a tall order; explain tension to you. Let’s take a look. Tension builds when you’re feel helpless to solve something or when you’re trying to look good and you’re failing.

How do you rid yourself of the feeling of tension?

Do not let the momentum of tension build; kill the energy while it’s an infant.

Examine what’s behind the tension. Is it a feeling of helplessness or wanting to look good?

Pledge not to give your life to weakness by falling into either of those two positions.

Make it your aim to acquire valuable gains such as insights into the workings of your mind.

Ask yourself, “What would be an empowering way to respond to this situation?”

Hope this helps, Nora … Blessings, Rob

——

What about the rest of you?
What do you do to rescue “you” from tension?
Pretending to want self-correction corrects nothing.
You’ve got to be willing to see yourself differently.

Blessings and Love, Rob

PSJust the commitment to do something to correct your feeling of tension will begin to conquer any feeling of tension that is trying to dominate you

Hello “ordinary guru seekers.” Today’s topic is an exciting one. There’s many possibilities that can come from it if you ask, “What’s this got to do with me,” and ask that question earnestly. Let’s see:

——

Hi Mr. White

My name is Conrad. I’m a student at Michigan State. I consider one of my professors a guru for me because of the practical things he says. But there’s one thing I don’t get that he says often: “Time is an illusion.” Actually he quotes Einstein when he says it, so it must make sense but I don’t get it.

Thank you for any input you could give me, Conrad

——

Hello Conrad

Every one of us is aware of the value of time when we need to get something done on schedule and we seem to be running out of time. Yet knowing the value of a minute is not enough, is it. We have to know the value of an hour and a day and a week and a lifetime if we are going to have any power over it.

“If I just had more power over the hours in my day, I’d be the success I dream of being.” How many folks have said that? Is it power over the minutes or is it power over their mind that is required to be a success, Conrad?

Time stretches to accommodate the person who has power over his mind and uses that power to get things done effectively.

Time shrinks to accommodate the lazy-minded person who doesn’t plan his day ahead of time. He says, “Wow, does time ever fly. I hardly got anything done today.”

It seems then that time is an illusion. If you are standing at an elevator door, waiting for the elevator to come down from the fifteenth floor, and you’re in a hurry, it can seem to take forever. However, if you’re standing at the same elevator door engrossed in a very interesting conversation with a beautiful young lady that you just met, Conrad, the elevator seems to arrive in an instant (way too soon as far as you’re concerned).

What’s important is not learning how to control time, but learning how to control your mind. Time is an illusion because it is a mental concept invented by man. Time is gained or wasted according to our viewpoint about ourselves and lives. The tick-tock clock cannot gain power over your illusion of time unless you allow it to. There’s plenty of time in a day or not nearly enough time – it’s up to you.

Make time your servant and you will master time so there is plenty of it. It’s all an illusion, Conrad.

Blessings to you, Rob

Hey folks

What say ye?

Your hours and days are what your thoughts and feeling about your life make of them.
“There’s plenty of time; there’s not enough time.” You decide. What will you do with that?

Blessings and Love to all of you, Rob

PSThe way you spend your life is the way you spend your time. Love your life and you will have plenty of time to spend it in gratifying ways

Hello fellow “everyday, ordinary, unassuming guru” seekers. Tom is lucky that he has found a guru that is available every day if he wants that guru to be. (see his letter below).

——

Hi Mr. White

My father likes to tell me that there is a law of attraction. He says that we get what we think about the most. I consider my father my every day guru, but I don’t get this law of attraction thing. My father likes to read your blogs, so I thought I’d ask you what you think. It doesn’t seem to work for me.

Thank you Tom

Hi Tom

I love that your father is your everyday guru, especially since you see him every day (I assume). You get to tap into his wisdom daily. What a gift that you are aware of that.

Regarding the Law of Attraction, let me tell you a story.

A young man was kidnapped and taken to an island to work as a farm hand. It seemed nearly impossible for him to escape because there were sharks in the ocean and the only canoes available were closely guarded by the council of elders, which happened to consist of the men that kidnapped him.

This young man, while roaming around the island on his time off, found a river with a strong current that ran into the sea. He began putting a message into coconut shells in which he bored a tiny hole. The message said, “Help me; I am on the tiny island with the big coconut trees.” He would toss a new note in a coconut at every opportunity, and he was convinced that the more notes he sent the greater was the possibility of being rescued. After he’d sent the 100th note, he felt certain that something great was going to happen.

Then one day, shortly thereafter, the young man saw a ship approaching. He ran to the beach yelling with delight, “I’m over here!” It was a rescue party. Hallelujah! The young man was rescued and taken back home.

Now, I ask you Tom … was it actually the notes in the coconuts that rescued the young man or was it his attitude that tapped into The Law of Attraction, which is always in action? When he convinced himself that he would be rescued, he admitted that something shifted within him. I ask you, Tom, what would have happened had he not believed he’d have been rescued? What might he have done differently? Hmmm.

Blessings, Rob

Hey folks
What does the above have to do with you?
Do you believe that what you vibrate you attract?
Is it possible that what you feel is absolutely true
has more to do with what happens to you
than what you do about it?

Or do your feeeelings and actions
work in harmony with one another?

The truth speaks a language
that is natural to your heart,
not your head.

What do you feeeeel
about all of this?

Blessings and Love to all of you, Rob

PS – There are powerful and there are impotent cries for help. If you feeeel your cry will give you results – it is powerful. If you feeeel your cry is wasted energy – it is.
